Aug. 4 (UPI) — Niecy Nash, Aunjanue Ellis and Storm Reid have joined the ensemble of writer-director Ava DuVernay‘s four-part, Central Park Five series for Netflix.

“Based on a true story that gripped the country, the limited series will chronicle the notorious case of five teenagers of color who were convicted of a rape they did not commit,” a synopsis from the streaming service said. “The series will span from the spring of 1989, when each were first questioned about the incident, to 2014 when they were exonerated and a settlement was reached with the city of New York.”
